How to support the treatment of bronchitis + reflexology feet massage

Acute
bronchitis is short term inflammation of the bronchi of the lungs. The most
common symptom is a cough, coughing up mucus, fever, muscle aches, fatigue, sore
throat, headache, runny or blocked nose and chest discomfort. The infection may
last from a few to ten days. The cough may persist for several weeks
afterwards.

Bronchitis
can be caused by either a virus or bacteria. Bronchitis need to start healing
immediately to avoid possible lung infection (pneumonia).

In
most cases, acute bronchitis will clear up by itself within a few weeks without
the need for treatment.

§Mucolytic
medicines thin the mucus in the lungs making it easier to cough up (N-Acetylcysteinum-
ACC or Solmucol).The last daily dose take about three to four hours
before bedtime. Onion syrup or onion tea - onion is known for its excellent
effects on dissolving mucus.

Onion syrup – chop one big onion
finely and add a big spoonful of honey, mix well and put covered in the fridge.
The resulting juice can take also young children, pregnant and lactating
mothers.

Onion tea – wash the whole onion
and boil it in a pot with water for about 10 minutes. We can add honey and lemon
juice into ready tea.

§Massage of chest and
back (thyme cream, eucalyptus ointment ...).

§Nasal cleaning (nose enema)
and gargling with salt water (300 ml of water + 2.7 g of salt).

§It is recommended to
use the ionizer, humidifier and regularly ventilate your home.

§Feet massage (thyme
cream , eucalyptus ointment,..).

§Get plenty of rest.

How to massage your feet:

Reflexology
is noninvasive and pleasant. It is used only a finger pressure on different
points and zones on the feet, which are connected to body organs. Stimulation
of these points can positively affect the function of related organs, encourage
the natural regeneration, relieve their pain and strengthen the immune system.

I
added the most important zones for support bronchitis treatment on my pictures.
Focus mainly on zone of lungs, bronchi and upper lymph. Massage your feet from
3 to 10 minutes, it is recommended to split this time into 2-3 sessions per
day.

If
you do not want to study the zones, you do not have to. Each feet massage
improves the function of blood and lymphatic system, helps the body eliminate
toxic substances, strengthens the nervous system, relieves tension and stress.
Just take your foot into your hand and make a soothing massage intuitively. You
will be rewarded at least with soft feet.

How to massage feets by hydronephrosis to increase
function of your kidneys

Hydronephrosis
is a condition that typically occurs when the kidney swells due to the failure
of normal drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder. This swelling most
commonly affects only one kidney, but it can involve both kidneys.
Hydronephrosis is a structural condition that is the result of a blockage or
obstruction in the urinary tract.

Prenatal
diagnosis is usually detected by routine screening ultrasounds obtained during
pregnancy. Approximately half of all prenatally identified hydronephrosis is
transient and resolves by the time the infant is born. In another 15% the
hydronephrosis persists but is not associated with urinary tract obstruction
(so-called non-refluxing, non-obstructive hydronephrosis). For these children,
regression of the hydronephrosis occurs spontaneously, usually by age 3. In the
remaining 35% of cases of prenatal hydronephrosis a pathological condition can
be identified postnatally.[1]

Hydronephrosis
affects about one in every 100 babies.

Our story:

My daughter was born with congenital heart
desease Tetralogy of Fallot and hydronephrosis of one her kidney (associated with urinary tract obstruction in one of her
ureter, which is the tube that connect a kidney to the bladder).

We
were „lucky“ as our daughter was a „pink TOF baby“ (she had corrective open
heart surgery at age 9 month) and we were allowed to go home for few days,
before they asked us to come for X-ray of her urinary tract to see if there is
a reflux (micturating/voiding cystourethrogram - MCUG/VCUG). We have been told that there is no reflux, but the
chance that her kidney normalise is under 5% and therefore they would like to make
a surgery, plastic of ureter or in the worse scenario give the kidney away.

She got a chance for the 5%, the doctor prescribed her antibiotics to ensure she doesn´t develop a kidney
infection and I contacted a
recommended reflexologydoctor. The next sonography in one
month shown that the function of her
kidney increase from 6% to 15 %. After 6 month to 45%. Three years later there
is no obvious difference in her kidneys, she has two normal working kidneys.

Therefore
I would like to share with all worrying parents and patients the massage technic
as its probably worth to try it.

How to do it:

Use
reflexology to stimulate the kidneys and keep them working properly.

Rub
your thumb down the foot and apply pressure on reflexology kidney zone (see the
picture), then continue fluently to the ureter area and finish apply the
pressure on the bladder. Massage always both feets as kidneys are paired organs
where works cross effect.

Repeat
the process few times per day always so long until the pain and mild discomfort
goes away. By small children rub and apply pressure on the reflexology zone three
times in a row , 3 times per a day.

We
have been told many bad scenarios and more and more new diagnosis were coming
too. Well as a parent you can do only one thing, stay positive, spend as much as
possible nice moments with your child even you spent most of your time at hospital
and fight the battle together with your little warrior.

Best
wishes to all of you!

P.S.: For the best results contact a reflexology doctor with a good renommee.

Having flat feet, or "fallen arches",
means that your feet have low or no arches and press almost completely flat
against the ground.

Flat feet can be associated with pain in
the feet, ankles, lower legs, knees, hips or lower back.

The appearance of flat feet is normal
and common in infants, partly due to "baby fat" which masks the
developing arch and partly because the arch has not yet fully developed. The
human arch develops in infancy and early childhood as part of normal muscle,
tendon, ligament and bone growth. Training of the feet, especially by foot
gymnastics and going barefoot on varying terrain, can facilitate the formation
of arches during childhood, with a developed arch occurring for most by the age
of four to six years. Flat arches in children usually become proper arches and
high arches while the child progresses through adolescence and into adulthood.

Home treatment

·Going barefoot

·Massage equipment

·Using arch inserts

·Use of tape

How to apply a tape on a flat feet

·Cut your size of tape - from Achilles tendon on the heel
to the sole under your toes

·Round off the tape on a both sides

·Cut the tape into three same strips but let a base on the
other side

·Put the tape on the lower part of the Achilles tendon and
slowly stick the three strips down. Start with your little toe, continue to
your big toe on the other side and finish sticking the strip between the 1st and
2nd middle toes

The Scar = Lifeline

Scars are part of our lives and soon or later each of us usually get some.
Invisible scars are worse than the one we have on our skin.

Yes, kids can be cruel. If you worry about scars your child have, talk
about the reason they have it and explain that they should be proud about their
marks. They are survivors and they will be accepted.

Friends do not care about visible scars, they care about the invisible ones
and they will be happy to celebrate how the scars are part of how we healed.

Sometimes, real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting
big battles.

Application of Ganoderma
lucidum (Reishi) – Herb of longevity

Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal fungus called Reishi or Lingzhi. It is an
important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of
diseases. The dried powder of Ganoderma lucidum was recommended as a cancer
chemotherapy agent in ancient China.

Recent studies have suggested that this mushroom exhibits anticancer activity
through stimulation of the host immune system by polysaccharides or by the
cytotoxic effects of triterpenes. [1]

It is used for prevention and treatment of various types of human diseases
such a :

The most attractive character of this kind of medicinal fungus is its immunomodulatory and antitumor activities.Intake of vitamin C helps to improve the intake of polysaccharides contained in this fungus.Ganoderma can be found growing up from underground networks called mycelium
near organic waste and logs, which are both a good nutrient source. Given the
right conditions, ganoderma can actually be cultivated and used in medicine.

Quality of the products with Ganoderma lucidum depends on the amount of
polysaccharides in the product. If the amount of polysaccharides is not
mentioned, the quality will be very low. Best products have 40% of polysaccharides, mainly glucans.

Modern research has
demonstrated pharmacological effects of Ganoderma spores and confirmed that the
polysaccharide Ganoderma fungus spores is the main component to maintain
physiological balance and boost immunity. Ganoderma spores have 75 times higher effect than
Ganoderma fruiting bodies.

Polysaccharides and triterpenes levels are highest in the fruiting bodies and
traditionally obtained by hot water extraction. Water extraction is ideal for polysaccharides that are highly water soluble. Triterpenes are poorly water soluble but
highly soluble in alcohol.

The extraction of active ingredients with hot water
and alcohol:

5 to 10 g of dried chopped fruiting bodies of Reishi pour 1 liters of
water and bring to the boil. Lower the temperature and cook for 30-50 minutes. Drink
it during the day as warm or cold tea.

Boiled mushrooms do not throw away, you can still use them twice. The
extract has a bitter taste (= the active ingredient rich in polysaccharides).

The mushrooms are still usable for the alcohol extract, because they
contain water-insoluble triterpenes. Pour 0,5 liter of distilled alcohol, and
leave it leach for at least four weeks. We obtain an extract rich in
triterpenes. Use 1-3 tablespoons a day.Mix 1-2g of Ganoderma spores with 100ml hot water, you can put honey
inside.
